With these words they went out of the Cave, hee straight going to a large Holly tree (the place rich with trees of that kind), on which at his comming to that melancholy abiding, hee had hung his Armor, meaning that should there remaine in memorie of him, and as a monument after his death, that whosoever did finde his bodie, might by that see, hee was no meane man, though subject to fortune. Them hee tooke downe and arm'd himselfe, but while hee was arming, Urania entreated him to doe one thing more for her, which was to tell her how he came to that place.
"And that was ill forgot most faire Urania," said hee. "Then know that as soone as I had received that letter so full of sorrow, and heard all that miserable relation, I was forced, notwithstanding the vow I had to my selfe made (of this solitary course you have relieved mee from) to goe against the Enemie, who with new forces, and under a new Leader, were come within sight of our Army: I thinking all mischiefes did then conspire together against mee, with an inraged furie went towards them, hoping (and that onely hope was left mee) in that encounter to ende my life and care together in the battaile, yet not slightly to part with it, in my soule wishing everie one I had to deale withall had been Philargus. This wish after made mee doe things beyond my selfe, forcing not only our company and party to admire me, but also the contrary to bee discouraged, so as wee got the day, and not onely that, but an end of the warres: for the chiefe Traytors being either kild or taken, the rest that outliv'd the bloudy slaughter, yeelded themselves to mercie, whom in my Uncles name I pardoned, on condition that instantly they disbanded, and everie one retire to his one home."
– from The Countesse of Mountgomeries Urania, by the right honourable the Lady Mary Wroath, daughter to the right noble Robert, Earle of Leicester, and neece to the ever famous and renowned Sʳ Phillips Sidney knight, and to ye most excellant Lady Mary Countess of Pembroke, late deceased (London: John Marriott and John Grismand, 1621)
